3. Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City Thunder

Last week: 4 – UP 1

Oklahoma City Thunder only played two games since our last edition, beating both the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Clippers. Durant put on a show against Denver, dropping 38 points in a very close game. His 28 points, eight assists and six rebounds against the Clippers helped the Thunder to a comfortable win against Chris Paul and Co.

Durant still can’t crack the top two, but he is getting very close right now.
